We were really lucky at Drumlanrig yesterday, drove there in torrential rain, suited up in full waterproofs, down, the lot, then stood and boiled in the bag in the sunshine! Would have been good to watch some of the climbs today, darn work getting in the way.

On my way home now from the finish in Kendal. Couldn't move on Beast Banks, crowds were huge! Should have heard the roar for Wiggins & Cav. It was still rammed in the town centre 20 mins later. Really good atmosphere.

I've been in Kendal, the Rain was annoying but the Town Hall had the Race on a big screen in a room that was like a theatre so just watched in there for a bit.

The final stretch upto the finish was a lot steeper than it looked on TV, I drove up it last night and didn't realise it was the final stretch.

Like has been said, Quintana really is tiny, signing autographs, saw Cav, Sir Brad and Sir Dave. Bernie Eisel came out of the Deathstar and had photos took with the kids who were there, seems like a top guy.

A Cannondale car had a Orica Green Edge type moment when he got stuck pulling over onto a Grass Verge and tried reversing off only to get a Bike on his Roofrack hooked up on the mirror of the United Healthcare bus, and managed to pull the rear of the Bike off the rack bet he doesn't mention that over Dinner.

Felt sorry for some of the teams like Raleigh and the MTN thingy team who had Max and Paddy style caravanettes compared to the Buses of Sky, OPQS, Movistar etc.

On the finish Line @ Kendal with my daughter near the big screen, great afternoons entertainment bit late getting to the Skybus for autographs, not many freebies given out whilst be stood on the side lines

That must have been a **** terrifying sight for the riders...
The legions of the damned amassed their ranks on a bleak and windswept hilltop, moaning northern gibberish into the teeth of the gale as they awaited the ill-fated peloton
It's like **** Steven King high on ale and whippet sweat..
I'm surprised they didn't turn tail and flee
